It definately looks different but as long as your not scraping them against the curb, i'd say leave em.

PASS on these lugs

I would sell them to the guys who make James Bond movies. They look like they could inflict great bodily harm.

I would think your balance could be screwed up too because ONE of the lugs on each wheel is drastically different in size/weight.
Not to mention it looks like HELL.

the shape of the lug nut seat on the wheel is different between stock and aftermarket wheels. stock wheels have a dome or radius shape while aftermarket wheels are usually the acorn/cone type. since the seats don't match, there is a possibility the wheel will not spin round if the wheel's center bore is not specific to your car...you can even cause damage to the seats and/or lugs.
